Nature WhatsApp Group & Biodiversity Initiative at Applefest

Re-Betchworth's Applefest was a lively affair this year with several hundred visitors during the afternoon to watch the annual pressing of apples. The 4Bs Biodiversity Initiative was invited to share what we are doing and Bekki Morgan hosted a table with posters, postcards and free packets of seed for our 1 square metre of wildflower meadow campaign. She also displayed in maginfting jars,  a wonderful selection of  insect skeletons she had found in her garden. These were a fantastic hit with the children many of whom had not seen a dragonfly close up.  As a result several new members were added to the Nature WhatsApp Group and to our Gardening for Biodiversity project. As a bonus we were interviewed by Peter Stewart who is producer and presenter of the Planet Reigate Podcast https://theplanetreigatepodcast.com/

Thanks to everyone who said hello and to Bekki for a great show.
